The Portugal team has not qualified for the quarter-finals of the World Cup since Germany 2006, and while the whole world is concerned with Cristiano Ronaldo's next possible destination, the veteran striker knows that a defeat against Switzerland will most likely eliminate his chances of retiring as world champion in the near future - and this is a team that only defeated Portugal about six months ago .

Portugal advanced to the round of 16 with two victories over Ghana and Uruguay and stumbled only in the final round against South Korea, a loss in extra time that did not change anything for them, and Switzerland also finished the group stage with the same balance, who first defeated Cameroon, surrendered to Brazil and in the last round achieved 2:3 against Serbia in the game Volatile in which each team knew that a win would move them up a stage.

As mentioned, in June the two met as part of the League of Nations and then Switzerland beat Portugal 0:1, but a week earlier Portugal defeated them 0:4.

After criticism and his behavior when substituted against South Korea, Cristiano Ronaldo dropped to the bench, with Gonzalo Ramos and Joao Felix starting up front for Portugal.

Also Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandez in Fernando Santos' lineup.

Diego Dalot is once again in the right-back position, while Rafael Guerrero replaced Joao Cancelo in the left-back position, and Ruben Dias and Pepe once again collaborate in the center of defense.

On the other hand, Jan Sommer returned to the Swiss goal after recovering from an illness and was missing against Serbia.

Of course, the stars Jordan Shaqiri and Berel Ambolo will be the ones who will have to try to surprise the Selecao defense.
